Hi Toby,
Once again most informative, my chap was a lieutenant in 1914 so one of the two former:- “wearing three stripes with grenade then crown” or “four stripes point up and grenade plus an 8-pointed star above on lower arm” shame I do not have a photo of him from that time.
Lovely R.E. ERV11 badge you have there. Re:- forth photo, back row third from right: see he also has the “T-bar you see on one breast pocket is a common, utilitarian style of fob for his watch”
I have ordered his world War One documents from Kew (at least I hope they are his) but not apparently arriving until Thursday. So I will wait with posting the last ww1 photo until then, he was stationed in Ireland and Malta at that time.
Once again many thanks for sharing your vast knowledge! Really most enlightening.
Kind regards,
Philip
